TIL Des/World/New Delhi/ India on Sunday gave yet another Note Verbale to Pakistan through its high commission in Islamabad protesting the “intimidation and harassment” of mission officials, the 13th such diplomatic note in less than three months.
Official sources said that in the communication to the Pakistan foreign ministry, the Indian high commission specifically highlighted three cases of harassment, including one in which the second secretary at the mission was aggressively followed today by unidentified people in a car in close proximity in an intimidating manner while he was going to a restaurant.
Videos were made using a mobile phone, the sources said. They said that in the second incident on Sunday, four high commission officials travelling in an official vehicle were aggressively followed while going to Aabpara market by two unknown persons on motorcycles in an intimidating manner.
Also, the website of the Indian high commission continues to be intermittently blocked causing inconvenience and affecting the normal functioning of the mission, the sources said. “We have asked the Pakistan government to investigate these incidents and ensure that such incidents do not recur and share the result of the investigation with us,” a source said.
